Legal eagles are e-mazing

A READING solicitors firm's virtual relationship with its clients has won two e-award nominations.

Shoosmiths in Regent's Gate, Crown Street, has a double chance to grab a gong in this year's E-Loties (Legal Office Technology) Awards, which are run by In Brief magazine.

The company is nominated in the legal firm of the year and best management team categories of the competition, which seeks to celebrate web-based achievements.

E-communications manager Graeme Smillie said: "I think we've been shortlisted because of the regular e-mail briefings we send out to both existing and potential clients. It's great to be recognised like this, because my team has put a lot of work into the project."
